'22 Jump Street' A; Comedy Dir: Phil Lord and Chris Miller Cast: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum <img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2014/oct/4-stars.gif" alt="" />&nbsp;
22 Jump Street was originally going to release in India in September. But now that it&rsquo;s released in Indian theatres already, I&rsquo;ll give you ten reasons to go see it at the earliest.
<img title="22 Jump Street has busload of slapstick and offensive humor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2014/oct/22-Jump-Street.jpg" alt="22 Jump Street has busload of slapstick and offensive humor" /> 22 Jump Street has busload of slapstick and offensive humor 1 If you&rsquo;ve seen 21 Jump Street and mildly chuckled, you&rsquo;ll laugh your posterior off while seeing 22 Jump Street. It&rsquo;s funnier, snapper and nerdier than the previous installation.
2 If you liked the bromance in the previous movie, then there is approximately around 500 times more bromance this time around. The bromance isn&rsquo;t just bromance for the sake of the word there is actual heartfelt emotion between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.
3 Hill and Tatum have more chemistry than Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hupburn in Sabrina. They&rsquo;re the loveliest couple I&rsquo;ve seen this year on screen and they&rsquo;re hilarious as hell.
4 There is a breakup scene between Hill and Tatum where the two friends realise that there comes a time in the bro relationship where they have to part ways because they shouldn&rsquo;t hold the other one down. That scene would go down as the single most howlarious movie moment of the year.
5 All of the bromantic running gags in the movie are built around a plot that is self-aware and self-referential. Hollywood&rsquo;s tendency to remake and reboot stuff is parodied to great effect in here.
6 Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller gather everything they learned from their previous outings, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and The Lego Movie into this film. All of the self-parodying goodies are present, but there are a ton of new things as well, albeit still being mildly meta.
7 This time around, Jenko (Tatum) gets to play the dumb jock character for a reason he gets to realise that he isn&rsquo;t as dumb and useless as he thinks he is. And he finally finds someone who is as dumb and athletic as him, much to the chagrin of Schmidt (Hill), of course.
8 There is a busload of slapstick and offensive humor, but like in the previous film, it somehow manages to fall into the goofy good-natured category rather than the turgid one. Thanks mainly to the directorial prowess of Lord and Miller.
9 Ice Cube gets a bigger role this time around, and is naturally even more foul-mouthed than in the previous outing. There is a hilarious subplot involving his daughter and Schmidt.
10 Jillian Bell is the find of the year she&rsquo;s a comic genius who is sure to go far ahead in Hollywood.
